There are three stories here, which, for some inscrutable reason, are not presented in chronological order. The first, from which the collection takes its title, concerns Harley temporarily becoming one of the Female Furies. I dare say this may work if you're a fan of the New Gods, but it did nothing for me. The other two stories are closer to typical fare, although it's clear that Humphries likes to play up Harley's insanity more than the anarchic fun-seeking of the Connor/Palmiotti run. There's a particular focus on fourth-wall-breaking, something that was always present, but is ramped up here, and looks to be even more a feature of the next volume, judging from the cliffhanger ending. The result is not a flop by any means, and there are quite a few laughs along the way, but the characterisation is just not quite up to the prior standard - although the potential is certainly there to build something new.
